Salvation Army Santa clause rings his bell when the penny's tossed and I don't know why but I feel lost

Two lovers shopping for a Christmas tree kiss each other when they cross the street and I'm feeling like the joke's on me

Oooooh this sneaks up on you like cold weatherOooooh whether or not you're ready it comesYeahhh I don't want to be lonely on the most wonderful time of yearOhhhhh but Christmas time is here

I woke up to find across the street a snowman laying in the manger scene and Charlie brown playing on tv

So while people were taking their winters nap I grabbed my coat and a stocking cap, went outside to think about what we have

Oooooh this sneaks up on you like cold weatherOooooh whether or not you're ready it comesYeahhh I don't want to be lonely on the most wonderful time of yearOhhhhh but Christmas time is here

Walked outside started thinking about what we had

Oh that bell I rangThe bottle of wine we got back togetherI toast them bothDecembers you remind meNow I'm stuckYeah I've been by myselfThe view from the topBeen thinking about the room that I paintedThe shelvesI built with my own handsAfter how long you waitedTook me back againIn that choir we heardIn that catholic churchAll the best and the worstIt heals and it hurtsTo rememberIt heals and it hurts to rememberOhh but I want toOhh just like that timeThe iceCovered up the road and the drivewayAnd you held my handBy that hospital bedThe things that you told meI'm hanging on to themI'm hanging on to them
